    Happy to talk about keto to any degree you like: If you remember the issues you heard I can point you at the current literature for the concern.

    LDL is the one interesting metric on low carb that might be the issue your remembering, for overweight people it goes down, but for lean people some of them fall into the LMHR (lean mass hyper responder) type and their LDL goes 3-4x above the current guidelines. The current literature heavily indicates that LDL is not a concern by itself, only damaged (oxidized and glycated) LDL is a indicator of a problem. for the LMHR group their elevated LDL is the type-A totally healthy LDL.
